I had an argument/discussion with my housemates today about me wanting to pay less rent than them because my room is half the size of theirs. Now at the start of the renting, we agreed that i would pay less because my room is smaller. that was all nice and dandy. then it didn't get sorted for various reasons. I brought it up now as it's new term, they've all got plenty of money from the loan. We pay 250 a month each, which is what is agreed on the contract, but we had said about me paying less at the beginning when we first found the house. Now, they are denying that we ever talked about that and they think that I'm being unfair and unreasonable for asking for 30 quid a month less rent, which equals to tenner each per month. Their parents pay the rent (and housemates say the 'rents won't pay any more than 250, but come on, tenner a month ain't gonna break their bank) and I'm pretty sure all their parents pay their tuition fees too. So my question is, am I really being unreasonable and unfair in asking this of them?
and i'm putting this in H&R because it's about my relationship with my friends as my housemates are supposed to be good friends of mine, never had a fight with any of them 'til now!
